A classic tournament with every match going to extra time and 19 goals in 4 matches. Every game was played with skill and a desire to play football, attack and score - and there were good players in abundance. The Yugoslav crowds applauded every move and counter-move and everyone had a really good time. As Vaclav Jezek the Czech manager said, ‘Football was the real winner.’

I was a teenager in the 80’s reading a newspaper in Iraq and there was an article talking about this amazing final game. Many years after that I can watch this game on KZfaq!

Panenka writing his name to the history

Fantastic level of football. I’m shocked how good it is even by today’s standards. what a good team Czechoslovakia was. Ivo Victor was the number one goalkeeper in the world. Unsung hero. Unbelievable game. And obviously there was a penalty on Beckenbauer. But Czechs are the deserved winners.

Das Gegenstück: Der Lupfer von Paneka ist bis heute eine Legende... Ich war damals 13 Jahre und habe das Spiel auf einem Dorf bei Gardelegen im SW Fernsehen geschaut...❤❤

The Slovakia championship victory ... 8 out of 13 players on the field that night were Slovaks.

I admit I only knew the penalty shootout from this game and never (or at least not for a long time) saw the full highlights. Really missed something. No fooling around, both teams seemed to attack full speed over 120 minutes. Great fight, great technique, great goalkeeping on both sides, and everything in a fair manner. And a typical German comeback from far behind, though this time not successful in the end. Pure sports - and such a thing is best to watch with british commentary.

I am an American who was living in Tehran Iran 76-78 and got hooked on watching German Football. This brings back great memories. I learned about the game by watching some of the best of all time. Looking back now I feel it was an honor for the opportunity to watch such great masters of the game.

First, That game was epic, how they play, how they keep running after being tackled, how they never tired to get the ball, amazing stamina. Second, Czech won with style, especially that memorable penalty from mr. panenka

Grandes jugadores, por lo que se ve en este resumen Victor fue la figura

Que jogaço! Assisti no Brasil quando ainda era criança! Esse penal do Panenka de cavadinha nunca mais esqueci! Sensacional!

What a game this was!

Best euro final ever along with 88 , legends of the game . Bonhof was pure class and so underrated.

The Panenka was born and wrote be a Legend

I remember this so well. One of the best matches I've ever seen. Fabulous skill. Great goalkeeping too.

Remember watching this live but had forgotten a lot about the game in the intervening years (apart from the fact it was a great game) and even though these are only highlights, you can still see what a great game it actually was.

Excelente final!!!!👍. ⭐⭐⭐🇦🇷

Vaya partidazo. Primera vez la veo, tenia 6 años en aquel tiempo, no existien las transmisiones x satelite en Py en ese año😅😅

This is the first time I see a recording of this match with English commentary. Until 2008, I knew about this match only from hearsay; the goals, the penalty shoot-out (especially Hoeneß' penalty) were shown on TV when there was a tournament again. Then the match was released on DVD, and I had the opportunity to watch the entire match. Even though 32 years had gone since the match, it was exciting to watch it, and I suffered when I saw Hoeneß send the ball to the moon.

Only highlights but this was a really exciting game. Good West Germany team beaten by excellent Czechoslovakia team. Mid 70s football just had something about it, great skill but without the modern day tactical nous spoiling the free spirited nature of teams.

Un auténtico partidazo, que calidad y entrega

LIKE FROM ELSHAD . COUNTRY AZERBAIJAN. BAKU CITY. SUPERB VIDEO ENJOYED. MANY THANKS

Twenty years later Germany took revenge in Wembley! 1996 golden Goal Oliver Bierhoff

I due gol cecoslovacchi, e il primo dei tedeschi, sono originati da trascuratezze difensive che, solo due anni prima (Mondiale 1974) sarebbero state inammissibili! Insomma, dal giro di boa fra la prima e la seconda metà degli Anni Settanta, deve essere accaduto qualcosa che ha cambiato il modo di approcciare questo meraviglioso gioco.

I was 10 yrs old when this game sendt on TV .I still remember Ivo Viktor the goalkeeper who made the difference and he was the man behind that west Germany lost the European championship

.... 8 Slovaks in that starting line-up .... not a lot of people know that ;0]

Surely Sepp Maier should have guessed where that last penalty was going, just from the taker’s name?

Football was miles better then you hardly saw these players because there was so little football on television so when it was it was very special . Their wages were.sensible and there was less diving and moaning at the officials

Still the best penalty ever by Panenka.

Mit diesem Elfmeter ist Ulli Hoeneß in die Geschichte eingegangen. Deutsche Zeitungen schreiben noch heute:.. Als Hoeneß den Ball in den Himmel von Belgrad schoss..😅🎉😮

Two champions - one lucky winner. Respect for both teams. The real winner was football itself.✌️

The 1976 championships were amazing. 4 classic matches, all going the full length. Good players in every team. It was a tournament Germany should have won but no regrets, except that Holzenbein's equalizer could have come earlier.

what a penalty to win it !!

Rainer Bonhof , what a player

what a great game

Czechoslowacja 💶 Euro 🕖 1976 rok majster mistrz Europy ⚽ piłka nożna Jugosławii

hi from Czechia pals, so I guess that this was shock for all europa countries

У Чехословакии в то время была действительно очень сильная команда. Если учесть, что в 1/2 финала, а затем уже в финале, они , друг за другом "оставили за бортом" вице-чемпионов мира и чемпионов мира ,соответственно.

No fauls at all. ❤

What is amazing is that the winning side failed to qualify for the following WC78

Después se hizo famoso patear un penal....como Panenka . Antonin Panenka ..genio.

What an amazing coincidence that Panenka won it with a panenka.😜

Czechoslovakia KO Netherlands & Germany. ❤

Damaliger Jungspieler Hoeness hat die Richtung zum Beograd Nachthimmel Titel verschossen. Schon seit Langem. Nur lachen.

The live commentary for the by now famous Panenka chip winning penalty seems almost underwhelming.

30 seconds only... German team every era said that no safe for every team played against...

1976 là thế hệ vàng của Tiệp khắc OK

Another odd fact about this classic game is that for being a final some parts of the stadium are totally empty. Look at 20.13 just to the right and above of where Panenka's winning penalty is about to be taken and hardly anyone is there. Was there so little interest for such an important game?

💎⚽️

Was this Beckenbauer last game ?

1996

Can anyone send me the penalty kickers

20:18 PANENKA

Pаnelkа!

THE GREAT BECKENBAUER WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THEIR FOURTH PENALTY , BUT HE ORDERED HOENESS TO TAKE IT

The Krauts first goal looked a mile offside to me bonhof was a foot in front of the nearest Czech England beat them 3 - 0 IN the qualification England are the rightful euro 76 champions once again we have been cheated
